Low-cost Approaches for Atmospheric Sensing The atmosphere is a complex mixture of gases and aerosols that range in concentration from the sub-part-per-billion level up to many percent, and which vary with both time and space. There are numerous analytical challenges associated with study of the atmosphere, and studies focused on understanding atmospheric chemistry have traditionally required numerous expensive, often custom-built instruments that are cost-prohibitive for many researchers. Over the past decade, advances in consumer electronics and low-cost sensors hav Type of Event: Analytical Seminar Read more about Low-cost Approaches for Atmospheric Sensing
